[MsChoralmusic]

Hurrah! Thanks for the gorgeous music and for helping to drown out the incessant boom boom music from the neighbours!

[RALsyatyou]

[robertgift]

Perfectempo!

[Offshoreorganbuilder]

What a stunning looking and sounding instrument, and such excellent playing.

綺麗な聖堂のパイプオルガンですね！。素晴らしいです！！。鍵盤­が黒いのは変わっていますね。普通のと逆なんだ…。面白いです！­。何処かの教会では一つ一つの鍵盤の装飾金具が取り付けてあるパ­イプオルガンもありました。良い音色でした！！。

[OlafRingstmeyer]

Wunderbar Gespielt ! Und was für eine Wunderschöne Orgel. Very Great !!!!!

[Lellobeetle]

She's wonderful.  She played my wedding in 1997, though not in that church.

A clear and bright rendition of this joyous Bach fugue. Ms. Dumschat has a gently touch which causes this piece to ring out in beautiful polyphony on this instrument.

[Arjunai]

Great!

[hatstalker]

don't care if i have to get a second mortgage im going to install an organ in my house!

[KerwoodDerby58]

Clear and exultant enunciation on both the manuals as well as the pedals. This piece was not meant to express contemporary baroque stylistic character so much as it was to glorify God, and so it does at Ms. Dumschat's fingertips. Soli Deo Gloria!

[Turgorful]

Actually, the three parts togther are supposed to be about the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The joyous fugue bursting from the somber adagio is the perfect metaphor for the resurrection.

[jg33brunner]

Melted my heart in gratitude for Bach and your lovely playing. Thank you.

[Fixnitup]

A beautiful rendition !! Organist and instrument are both superb !!

[mrcocobeans]

Incredibly entertaining! This is my first time seeing anything played by organ up-close, I had no idea there were so many foot notes (haha)!

[obxemt]

Superb.

[SacredComposer]

Excellent! That organ has such lovely tones! I was so blessed to hear your rendition!

[THausherr]

great footwork!

[baroquian1685]

great playing, this is one of my favourite fugues. I get to play on this organ quite regularly and for a 23 year old instrument it sounds brand new. I love the tuning, it sounds so bright and clear!

[highviewmusic]

An excellent performance - clarity and vitality. The organ is well suited to Bach.  New organ fans should note this Baroque style organ's mechanical action and straight pedal keyboard, very different from most 19th and 20th century organs. The artist appears to be playing exclusively with her toes, which was the 18th century style.

[tjugofyra]

Of course, she uses only her toes. There is no need to use heals while playing Bach!

[joeyboi87]

thats not really true, the saying is that pedalling in baroque music often required using the toes but that doesnt mean always, in some pieces i find it almost impossible to get through without using heals at some point for example the toccata and fugue in f major, fantasia and fugue in g minor and others, however you are partially right!!

[midnightpipes]

Thanks for your discussion on toes vs. heels. By the way, I believe what we are discussing here is spelled H-E-E-L-S. Sounds like "heals," but "heals" has another meaning. Check it out. - FH

[philomelodia]

Fascinating information. Thank you. I'm a fan of baroque music but, up till recently, I'd confined my listening to the lute, opera seria, and ensemble music, sonatas, concerti grossi, orchestral suites, that sort of thing.  I am, as you say, a newcomer to the organ repertoire and this was very informative.

[lamepiemujer]

I love your footwork and pedalling technique

[EliaMarius]

Bella esecuzione, un pò troppo lenta per i miei gusti...bravo però!

BRAVA

[Brandotuomikoski]

wow. what an organ, they really did a great job. the keys, stops, and case resemble organs like the arp schnigers!

[dressagegal]

this is so good it might coax me to go to church!

[damildlyshreddah]

Amazing. :)

[GlennKeefe36]

I love this fugue, and you play it so well. I love the phrasing, and you pedal passages are nice and clear.

Thank You

[2468HOTROD]

This is beautiful. This is in my hometown too. This organ sounds like a Skinner organ to me....maybe just a little? Thank you for this video.

[Kurosaki09]

nice peddles, beautiful song

[levette76]

I love watching your feet dance across the peddles.

[muzical15]

thank you for posting this piece by Bach, midnightpipes. My organ teacher just assigned me to learn this a week ago, and I absolutly love this fugue.

[kwoniegmail]

Wow !I never thought organs sounded sooooo beautiful:P

[zygmunt1985]

So should be Bach played

[Teigen64]

Nice work. Thanks for posting this on YouTube.

As the Germans say: die Bachs musik ist das Beste.

[videomancat]

Awesome!
